Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams All-purpose flour
- 325 milliliters Water
- 50 milliliters Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 10 grams Salt
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 150 grams Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon Coarse sea salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, mix the water, olive oil, and honey. Stir until the honey dissolves.
Slowly pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until a sticky dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Lightly oil a large bowl and place the dough inside. Cover it with a damp kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and line a baking sheet or a 9x13-inch pan with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to the prepared pan. Stretch it gently to fit the pan. Let it rest for another 15 minutes.
Using your fingertips, press dimples into the surface of the dough. Drizzle olive oil generously over the dough and sprinkle rosemary and coarse sea salt.
Scatter the crumbled Gorgonzola evenly over the top of the dough.
Bake the focaccia in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove the focaccia from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
